More and more I am less and less moved by the spiritual platitudes that crowd the corner of the Internet and social media that I tend to wander around in. Maybe I’ve just heard them so many times over that they’ve lost their ability to move me, or maybe its that they are so overused […]

Let’s start with one of mine. I was born with a fairly good-sized mole on my face, specifically on my left nostril. That mole has always made me different. It’s unique to me and now I wouldn’t change it for anything. I can’t imagine my face without it, but when I was a kid […]

Last year was such a mixed bag. Absolutely amazing and magical at times with so much love and adventure. Absolutely stupefying at times with circumstances I couldn’t have dreamed up if I were in bizarre soap opera in the twilight zone. Sometimes the pain has felt unbearable and crushing.

Guilt can be a spirit crusher. But only if you let it. It can also be a wise teacher. But only if you let it. Let it be an invitation into learning the ways of deeper love. We’re not made to get through life without fucking things up here and there even with people and […]

Are you in the process of coming back from something difficult, challenging, life changing, even brutally so? Have you been clawing your way back up out of what felt like quicksand? Feeling like you’re in a dark hole and doing your best to hang on and then pulling yourself forward inch by inch? Many spiritual […]

I’ve spent most of my life feeling I wasn’t good enough, as I’m sure many of us have. But recently it occurred to me that I actually don’t want to be good enough. Or, maybe I should say I really don’t want to strive to be good enough anymore. I consider it self-abusive when that […]
